Immigration

Our porous borders pose one of the largest security threats to our nation, as they present those who would do us harm a way into our country. Thus, one of our top priorities must be to secure our borders.

SECURING OUR BORDERS

At home, we face security challenges as well. As a pilot in the Air National Guard, I have flown surveillance missions over the southwest border and worked firsthand with Customs and Border Patrol on the challenges they face. Our porous borders pose one of the largest security threats to our nation, as they present those who would do us harm a way into our country. Thus, one of our top priorities must be to secure our borders. We can accomplish this task through a host of actions, including the use of unmanned aerial patrols, the construction of a physical and virtual wall, and an enhanced border patrol presence along the border.

While I believe we must make reforms to our broken immigration system, we must first ensure that our borders are secure or we risk returning to the status quo. It is vital we update our antiquated immigration system to better suit the needs of a 21st century economy, but we must not reward those who have come here illegally. I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress to ensure we develop immigration policies that secure and strengthen America and provide fairness to those who attempt to enter our country legally.
